18th lesson => God's Purpose in loving the Human Being

Jesus is the Great Physician

“Surely he took up our infirmities and carried
our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and
afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his
wounds we are healed” - Isa. 53:4-5.

"Jesus said to them, "Surely you
will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself ! Do here in your
hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum”. Lk. 4:23. We read in the four gospels that
Jesus healed all who came to him. He surely was a doctor for all who came to
him. But he was a doctor of the soul as well. And yes, it was fulfilled they
did say unto him, physician, heal yourself when he was on the cross.

Some
passages where Jesus healed the sick people:

Mat. 12:15 - “Aware of this, Jesus withdrew
from that place. Many followed him, and he healed all their sick”. It says in this verse many followed
him, and he healed all their sick.

Mat. 14:14 - “When Jesus landed and saw a large
crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick”. A large crowd waiting
and once again he healed their sick.

Lc. 9:42 – “Even while the boy was coming, the
demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil
spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father”.Jesus heals the boy and he rebuked the evil spirit.

Lc. 22:51 - “But Jesus answered, "No more
of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him”.

Jesus The Good
Shepherd

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep" Jn. 10:11."I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep
and my sheep know me--" - Jn. 10:14.

Jesus cares
for every human being as a shepherd cares for his sheep. A shepherd watches
over his sheep and he always is checking if it is alongside the other sheep,
and if one gets lost the shepherd runs to fetch the one that moves away from
the herd. The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep and that is how Jesus
is described as a good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep which we
are. He says his sheep know him and hear his voice. He also states that He is
known by his sheep, this describes a very close relationship with his sheep.

In John
chapter 10 is described the close relationship between Jesus the shepherd and
his sheep. I suggest you to read the first 16 verses of the chapter it talks
about the profile of Jesus as the good shepherd. “When he has brought out all
his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know
his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away
from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." Vs 4-5. It is
so wonderful to know that we as God´s children can hear his voice and follow
him. If we follow our shepherd that is the light, and He says who follows him
will never walk in the darkness. He is the light, the true bread of life, water
of life, the physician; Jesus everything to us. Our true source of every need
we have.

Jesus The Divine Teacher

Master
Jesus was called by all, it might be fulfilled which was taken about HIM.

üThe disciples call Jesus Master, and
Jesus endorsed the fact that they did so. "You
call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am" - Jn.
13:13.

üThe Pharisees call Jesus Master =
"Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the
Jewish ruling council" - Jn.3: 1. Nicodemus comes to visit Jesus at night
to ask him about eternal life. “He came to Jesus at night and said,
"Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could
perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him".
Nicodemus comes to visit at night and said to him, ‘we know’.Who was the ‘we know’ that he was referring
to? And he calls him Rabbi and says you are a teacher from God. For no one
could perform the miraculous signs your are doing, if God would not be in all
this you are doing.He was representing
the Jewish Ruling Council and they knew that Jesus was a teacher, Rabbi as he
called him. Check out the whole passage in: Jn. 3:2-21.

üThe Pharisees and Herodians call
Jesus Master: - “Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus
to catch him in his words. They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know
you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no
attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the
truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” Mk. 12:13-14.

üThe Sadducees call Jesus Master:
"Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a
question. "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a
man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the
widow and have children for his brother"- Mk. 12:18-19.

üJesus tells them to refer about HIM
as the Master to their disciples: "Say to the owner of the house he
enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover
with my disciples?”- Mark. 14:14. The
Bible says that Jesus is the Master Teacher, everyone recognized him as such.
It is recommended that each of us also think about HIM in this way

Jesus The Savior Of Believers

For
everyone who believes in him. "For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes
in him shall not perish but have eternal life" - Jn. 3:16. "Yet to
all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God--" John. 1:12.

Jesus the Crucified Savior

"Carrying his own cross, he went out to
the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). Here they
crucified him, and with him two others--one on each side and Jesus in the
middle. Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: Jesus
of Nazareth, the king of the Jews. "- Jn. 19:17-19.

Jesus the Comforter

The Prophet
Isaiah pronounces Jesus, the Messiah, and he comes as a baby that was born: "For to us a child is born, to us a son
is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" -
Isaiah 9:6. Jesus tells his disciples: "Do
not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's
house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going
there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am"
- John. 14:1-3.

Jesus the Giver of the Holy Spirit

In chapter
16:1-15 we read of John's Gospel as Jesus promises to send another comforter
like Him, and He will send unto his disciples. Check in your Bible this passage
for your meditation. This was fulfilled at Pentecost, and we will talk about
this further in another chapter.

Jesus the Great Intercessor

17:1-26.
Jesus prayed for his disciples and for all who would believe through them. You
and I believe because nowadays we still have the Word that Jesus spoke and
everything that God has put in writing that we might have His Word. We can read
the Word of God and It tells us that Jesus is the Intercessor of believers. I
suggest you to read the entire chapter of John 17, but here we will only quote
verses 20-21: 20 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those
who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one,
Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that
the world may believe that you have sent me”.

I believe
that Jesus Resume presents of himself in the Holy Scriptures is sufficient for
each of us to receive Him and accept him as He is. Jesus as a human being was
love, he acted as is described in His Word.

In the Lord's Service

I greet you in His Love
